Boston Bean Coming to Route 1 in Saugus

A new restaurant is coming to well-known stretch of highway north of Boston, and it will be featuring the foods of two different countries.

The Saugus Advertiser is reporting that town selectmen have approved of a common victualer license for Boston Bean, which will open in the space on Route 1 where Domino's Pizza used to be (just south of the Essex Street exit). The article says that the dining spot will offer a mix of Mexican and Brazilian dishes, including tapas and burritos, and it looks like it will have seating for approximately 20.

If all goes as planned, Boston Bean should open sometime in December, with hours being 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM Monday through Saturday and noon to 11:00 PM on Sundays.
